Restorations using osseointegrated implants with resilient attachments.
This article presents a clinical report of the prosthodontic treatment of a patient with a partially edentulous mandible. Osseointegrated titanium implants and resilient attachments for overdentures were used to retain and stabilize a mandibular overdenture that restored the patient's occlusion. This provided a simple and economical solution to retention and stability problems for a patient with a partially edentulous mandible.
